The Nashville All-Stars • After the Riot at Newport

Review
by Thom Owens
The Nashville All-Stars is a group of Nashville sessionmen, including pianist Floyd Cramer, saxophonist Boots Randolph, Gary Burton, Hank Garland, and Chet Atkins. Their debut, After the Riot in Newport, is a surprisingly jazzy effort, highllighted by some excellent leads by Atkins, yet it is a bit too down-home for jazzbos, and a bit too polished for country fans. Nevertheless, fans of pure musicianship will find plenty to treasure on the album.

Reseña

The Nashville All-Stars es un grupo de músicos de sesión de Nashville, que incluye al pianista Floyd Cramer, el saxofonista Boots Randolph, Gary Burton, Hank Garland y Chet Atkins. Su debut, After the Riot in Newport, es un esfuerzo sorprendentemente jazzístico, realzado por algunas excelentes pistas de Atkins, aunque es un poco demasiado casero para los jazzistas, y un poco demasiado pulido para los fans del country. Sin embargo, los fans de la música pura encontrarán mucho que atesorar en el álbum.
